About

WHAT IS PIGMENTATION TREATMENT?

Pigmentation treatments address unwanted dark spots, melasma, sun damage, and uneven skin tone using advanced techniques such as laser therapy, IPL, chemical peels, microneedling with skin-lightening serums, or topical prescription products. A qualified practitioner will assess your pigmentation type and recommend the most effective approach.

COMMON TYPES TREATED:

  • Sun damage and age spots
  • Melasma and hormonal pigmentation
  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (from acne or injury)
  • Freckles
  • Uneven skin tone

Process

What to Expect

Treatment depends on the method chosen. Lasers and IPL target melanin with light energy, breaking down pigmented cells. Chemical peels exfoliate damaged layers. Microneedling with brightening serums promotes cell turnover. Each approach encourages the body to shed pigmented cells and reveal clearer, more even-toned skin.
